I have seen the future, and it is a table

I've been thinking a lot about Microsoft Surface - yes it's cool, but is this really the way we want to go?  Even when the price has come down from $10,000, will I ever want one in my house?  My tendency when using computers and gadgets is to want to beam files and information directly to other people's computers and gadgets; not to have to go find a connection point where we can interact and collaborate.   (MS article about Surface with some real-world use cases)

Then my brother sent me a link to the reactable.  Now here's a futuristic table I can get behind.  It's like a hybrid of a theremin and a Kaos pad - but better.  It's not in production yet and the Music Technology Group does not quote a price, yet I find myself wanting one in my home IMMEDIATELY.  (Probably this is more of an indicator of my personal style than about the coolness/usefulness of the technology itself.  At any rate, enjoy the demo:)
